I certainly wouldnt pay for it!I'm not bothered by Tyson v Jones Jnr mind!
Quote impressed with that. Not sure how the other lad got up from.that punch.Yep decent night's work...
First time I've seen him tonight pal. I thought he looked ok.Catterall is shite not a chance he's world class as he's been built up totally over rated European level at best,
Who's the support fight on Tyson/Jones Bill... Rocky v Hulk "Thunder lips" Hogan..Tough to call genuinely excited by this one shame no fans. Interesting to see how much Joyces experience & extra size counts
I certainly wouldnt pay for it!
8x2 min rounds exhibition looks like a cash grab
Few should have the stomach for farcical fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones | Kevin Mitchell

Surely if you are gonna do your bit for BLM you take the knee prefight?His eye was gone and at 23, no point causing damage.
he has gone to hospital with a suspected broken orbital bone.Dubois didn't exactly go out on his shield did he? Closed eye or no closed eye, you don't do that especially in front of millions of TV viewers, I'd be too embarrassed to do that in front of the regulars from my pub watching in a street fight behind a boozer.
Par for the course for boxers.he has gone to hospital with a suspected broken orbital bone.
Certain fighters would need to be going with a broken back and neck before any quitting was done.he has gone to hospital with a suspected broken orbital bone.
Only 23 too.I don't get this quitting allegation. He had enough minerals to go into a ring and fight someone, more than 95% of the population would. The kid lives to fight another day, good on him.
Disagree Shandy, sure you need minerals to actually get in the ring in the first place, however a fight stops when either your corner throws the towel in or the ref steps in to save you from further punishment, neither of these two happened and DDD basically sat down and said enough is enough.I don't get this quitting allegation.

Jim Watt and others accused Gerald McClellan of quitting. If a boxer doesn't fancy anymore why is that a bad thing? Didn't DD have a fractured eye socket I'm pretty certain most boxers would pack in at that pointDisagree Shandy, sure you need minerals to actually get in the ring in the first place, however a fight stops when either your corner throws the towel in or the ref steps in to save you from further punishment, neither of these two happened and DDD basically sat down and said enough is enough.
Also lets not forget this is the first time in his career his opponent has not actually collapsed like a deck of cards under his barrage of punches, the first time someone can take them and give some back just as hard he doesn't fancy it one bit.
For me he quit.
Yes. Nasty injury by the sounds of it. Think Kell Brook did the same thing to his eye and he never looked the same after.Jim Watt and others accused Gerald McClellan of quitting.

Yeah but you are proper old school raging. Times have moved on now even in boxing. Lets be honest there have been deaths in the ring & people with serious injuries for being 'too brave' .Dubois didn't exactly go out on his shield did he? Closed eye or no closed eye, you don't do that especially in front of millions of TV viewers, I'd be too embarrassed to do that in front of the regulars from my pub watching in a street fight behind a boozer.
Let me crack your eye socket with a hammer and then let a 17 stone bloke repeatedly punch you in the face. The accusation of quitting is nonsenseQuitter. Hasn't got the heart to be a world champion
I’m not making a judgement but you said the accusation of quitting is nonsense. If he wasn’t knocked down and his corner didn’t throw the towel in, what else can you call it ?Let me crack your eye socket with a hammer and then let a 17 stone bloke repeatedly punch you in the face. The accusation of quitting is nonsense
He suffered a broken eye socket, I've never had one but I expect it's fairly painful. If a football player suffered such an injury and rightly goes off the field, is that quitting? What's the difference? It's a smear that gets thrown at boxers but the lad did the right thing and it's laughable how people typing on their keyboard think otherwise.I’m not making a judgement but you said the accusation of quitting is nonsense.

I agree about the injury and I would imagine it’s not fairly painful I would imagine it’s bloody excruciating and I don’t blame him one bit for saying enough is enough. But in boxing circles where they are all tough hard men it’s still quitting.He suffered a broken eye socket, I've never had one but I expect it's fairly painful.

At 23, with his whole career in front of him, I think it may have been a wise move on his part.He suffered a broken eye socket, I've never had one but I expect it's fairly painful.

It was, saved what could be permanent damage and you only have 2 eyes which are not replaceable. I am just being devils advocate on behalf of the other fighters who have been making the accusations.At 23, with his whole career in front of him, I think it may have been a wise move on his part.
I was listening to talk sport as I was going into work this morning.Dubois didn't exactly go out on his shield did he?

'Cut me 'They just slit Rocky,s eye lid with a razor blade and he carried on and won. Boxers today
